Maldives, Indian Ocean

Star rating

The hotel

Famous for the continuous white sand beach surrounding the entire island, Sun Siyam Iru Fushi is an idyllic setting for romantic and family trips alike. The 52 acre island allows for space and seclusion when you want it, but there are plenty of bars and restaurants with a great atmosphere and live music, when you’re ready for an upbeat evening. Whichever room type you opt for, you won’t be disappointed. Sunset Horizon Water Villas are great for couples getaways – savour that Maldivan sunset each day from your private outdoor jacuzzi with a sundowner in hand, these are some of the most coveted accommodations on the island. If there’s a group of you, you might want to opt for a Pool Beach Villa, with ample space for outdoor drinks on the beachfront terrace and a dip in the private pool. And not forgetting, all villas come with a multilingual butler service! If you’re feeling active then there’s plenty to keep you on your feet, from water sports to tennis, or for a more relaxing activity then visit the award-winning Spa by Thalgo which offers over 160 treatments, the kids will be well looked after in the kids’ club whilst you get some much needed “me time”. And it’s hard to know where to start when it comes to dining, with a choice of 15 bars and restaurants from casual snacks by the pool to teppanyaki at your table, overwater champagne bar to beachfront fine dining, they have it all. You may even just fancy a pizza in the comfort of your villa, no requests is too big!

Amazing stay at Sun Siyam, Iru Fushi, from the moment you step off the plane and are welcomed into the Sun Siyam lounge at Male airport the service is impeccable! Arriving in resort to drums, a bamboo necklace and flower in your hair, cool towel and drink….the welcome sets high expectations and the rest of the stay didn’t disappoint! All colleagues were so lovely, food was very high standard and great choice of restaurants! Location is just beautiful and enough activities available to keep busy but also quiet icing sugar beaches to relax on if you just want to chill out! The spa is amazing too…definitely worth a visit….gorgeous treatments and such a beautiful environment! Special mention for our butler Aung…he was amazing 🤩 and made everything easy and the restaurant manager at Flavours French restaurant for getting us a table for our last nigh, fab food and service and the best view and dinner entertainment watching black tip sharks as we ate! I would recommend and will definitely hope to return! Read less

I am not one for reviews but enjoyed my last couple of days diving So much that I felt its only right I made the effort to write a review. I can’t say enough good things about the experience. From the moment I registered the staff was warm, welcoming, and incredibly professional. Every detail was taken care of – from the high-quality rental gear, dedictad gear box for the duration of my stay, seamless and comfortable logistics with internet on the dive boat to high quality safety protocols. The dive sites were spectacular – vibrant reefs, amazing visibility, and an abundance of marine life that included, eagle rays, dolphins, sharks, octopus, puffer fish, sting rays, tortoise, moray eels, lion fish, dolphins and many more. Our dive master Toyli was excellent a great leader, very knowledgeable, passionate and pointed out all sorts of creatures I would have missed on my own. He went the extra mile to make sure your experience was everythibg and more than what you hoped. Each dive felt like a new adventure, and I left the water every time with a huge smile on my face wanting to go again. What really stood out, though, was the friendly, community vibe of the whole team. It felt like diving with friends – relaxed and fun. Read less

It was our first time at Sun Siyam Irufushi and we returned very refreshed and full of new impressions. The professional organization deserves special mention, right from the start. From a smooth pickup at Male airport with assistance with seaplane check-in, the transfer to the terminal, and a comfortably furnished lounge for us to wait in, to our reception at the pier by our personal butler Shammas, who quickly took care of the remaining check-in formalities and then took us to our water villas. The water villas are very spacious and were meticulously cleaned twice a day by our villa attendant, Sudan. In our experience, this is by no means the norm, even for other 5-star hotels, and deserves our respect. The only drawback is the condition of some of the furniture, particularly that on the outdoor terrace. The daybed collapsed during our stay, and several loungers and the outdoor railing could use some updating. Villa 604 was more affected than Villa 606, which has already been renovated in some areas. We are aware that the weather combined with the location above water leads to increased material fatigue, but in the interest of value for money, we must mention this defect and hope that maintenance work will continue promptly. Otherwise, fortunately, there is only positive news to report. We booked an all-inclusive package and were very impressed with the offerings. From the wide variety of drinks, a very nice breakfast buffet, various snacks, to the options for à la carte dining both at lunch and in the evening, one can only praise it highly. Simply fantastic! There are three locations available for lunch, and in the evening you can choose between a Pan-Asian, Indian, French, and Italian restaurant. For details, please refer to the hotel's website, where you can access all the details of the all-inclusive package, including drinks and menus. However, dinner reservations should be made before arrival. We did not do this. Luckily, our butler was able to reserve a table for us for each evening. If you'd like, you can also do this yourself using the hotel's app. However, we were pleased that our butler took care of all these organizational details so that we didn't have to worry too much about such things on vacation. This also applied to booking spa treatments and excursions. A beautiful sunset cruise and dolphin tour were included in the package, as well as a $50 credit per person toward a spa treatment. We also went on an excursion to see the turtles, and what can I say, it was well worth it! Our guide, Hassan, and the boat crew took excellent care of us from start to finish. We first went snorkeling along the edge of the reef with endless schools of fish, until suddenly, out of nowhere, 5-6 turtles emerged from the depths to catch their breath, swam beside and below us for a bit, and finally disappeared back into the depths. Simply breathtaking. At the second drop point, we were able to watch turtles feeding on seaweed in the shallower waters. And if that weren't enough, Hassan also provides us with videos he took underwater of our shared experiences. Thank you again for that! But even right on your doorstep, you can find spots with an intact house reef and a variety of fish, from very small to very large. You just have to look around the island a bit and, of course, with the necessary respect, observe this fascinating underwater world. Finally, a few general words about the island and the staff in general. We found the size of the island ideal, so that despite the relatively large number of rooms, everything went quite well, including the beach, which is regularly maintained and repaired. Which brings us to the many very hard-working people who keep the whole thing running. Starting with those who take care of the infrastructure, those who provide guest service in the bars, restaurants, and on every other occasion. It's relatively rare to experience such friendliness and helpfulness and to feel so at home. And that is ultimately what the guest most likes to take home as an impression. Read less
